The Parish and Handbell Choirs led the community in reflection during Palm Sunday. Here is a recording of Ave Verum, followed by the spiritual, Were You There.
Ave Verum and Were You There
Ave Verum, as performed at St. Mel, is set to the music of Mozart. This translation provides an understanding of the Latin lyrics:
Hail,true body
born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered, sacrificed
on the Cross for man,
Whose pierced side overflowed
with water* and blood,
Be for us a foretaste**
In the test of death.
